From their speed and wings combined.

Overall they work like an airplane, except they get their speed from clapping their wings.

How do birds' wings work to enable them to fly?

Birds' wings work by creating lift and thrust. The shape of the wing and the way air flows over and under it generate lift, allowing the bird to stay airborne. The flapping motion of the wings also creates thrust, propelling the bird forward. This combination of lift and thrust enables birds to fly.
